I’m not sure how Cablevision intends to make this up to long-suffering season ticket holders, but House’s expiring contract might be useful in attracting whichever free agents are left next summer (after LeBron, Wade and Chris Bosh have signed elsewhere). The New York Daily News’ Frank Isola notes that Robinson is set to earn an additional $1 million for making the playoffs with Boston, a clause that strikes me as about as justified as Brian Scalabrine earning a percentage of the box office receipts from “Avatar”.
